Warm Homes: Local Grant
The Warm Homes: Local Grant is being used to upgrade homes in Hillfields, Upper Stoke and Lower Stoke to improve homes through retrofit. These home improvements will make homes warmer, more energy efficient and help to lower energy bills.
What is retrofit?
Retrofit means adding upgrades like insulation, draught-proofing, and better heating systems to reduce heat loss and could help to save money on energy bills.
How does the funding work?
Through the Warm Homes Local Grant, there is £3.6 million of funding to help us retrofit homes in Hillfields, Upper Stoke and Lower Stoke. It’s important to know that funding is limited and that this project is part of a bigger aim to make homes in Coventry more energy efficient. Depending on eligibility and property needs, the energy saving upgrades you could receive may be free.
If you do not meet the eligibility requirements for the Warm Homes Local Grant, there is energy advice and support available to you.
